ILM X-wing photos

[Qrest Fourstar]

whne I was reading it, I glanced at the pic, I thought ooo! which one is this? and saw the red 1 markings and thought huh? Knew I had to run it by you guys. It doesnt seem altered. And it's funny they didn't use your typical x-wing pic that is probably saved in their 'frequently used images "file.

You have a PM incoming.

Edit- Got the pic, thanks and here it is.

OK! I see you beat me to Robi! This obviously has been photoshopped,as the picture is backwards! The repair panel is on the wrong side,as this is red 2 with red leaders' markings! Plus,one of the fins on the port(left)engine intake is missing! Unless this is a later model!

 

[Qrest Fourstar]

sorry! I sent it to a few people as well as handling some personal buisness on my end.

 

[Newbie Doobie]

That's OK! I had to eat supper,and clean up while looking up the forum for this,and checking my email!

That is the pic of blue leader, which was changed to red 2 and it is flip flopped, and someone photoshopped the red in it, yeah i have this issue too, lol!

Great pic, Paul. Thanks.

More images of Red 2 can be found at:www.modelermagic.com/?p=2199 including proper scans of the b/w Red 2 pics I posted ( the photos I took were a bit distorted).

Those are great pics of Red 2. I think I just decided how to build my V2!

Here're a couple more pics that I found in the archives that I thought I'd share before I forgot them again!

I think it might be Kurt(Kuhn).

Thank you Colin and Newbie for sharing these great photos. Its just amazing how the Red 5 model, that destroyed the death star, was never preserved. Instead it was taken apart in replacing other X Wings.

Not sure if this thread is limited to the standard Scaled x-wings. But heres my contribution.

 

[Colin Droidmilk]

Great picture, though, JPagaduan...

Always nice to see ILM X-Wings with wonky guns - redeems my V3 guns, which are a bit on the bent side!

Here's another photo. Somewhat odd, this. Seems to be a composite publicity photo of Luke going to Dagobah. But the composition and tones make it look like a badly matted frame of film. Found it in an old SW mag. Actually it's great ref for determining the exact height the two large R2-strip detail masses protrude above the plane of the fuselage roof. Something I've been musing on with my V3...

L-R: Paul Huston, Jon Erland, Dave Jones, Steve Gawley (in back), Dave Beasley, Lorne Peterson.

For Bonus points, the guy that is cropped out of the photo on the left is Joe Johnston. Shortly before (or after) this photo was taken, John Dykstra had his photo taken at the same table.
